Be it known that I, THoMAs L. Siuirli, residing in Milwaukee, in the county of Mil- 4vv'aukee and State of ,lVisconsiIn have iiiJ vented lnew and useful Improvements 4iii Mixing-:Machines of which t/hc following'is a description, reference being had tothe -accoinpanyin drawings, which are a part of this speci cation.

This inventionrelates to improvements in that type for mixing concrete oriise in lsui"-v facing streets and also' for mixing various f othermaterials in a lry or'n'et'state. .A

( )ne of the objects of this invention is to -provide a mixing 'machine which is adapted .toy thoroughly, mix the 'material deposited therein, and i's also capablcof being-'swung `m'the arc of a circle to de osit the nii-Xed sis 4i'fei'yei" being shown in-full` ine; Fig., 2 is a' material onto the surface o chilies,

' A further object of thisfinvention is to prov-ide -a mixin `machinewhich isidapted to' forni part .o aconiplete organized ap` tion to' another while in operation.a

this application meer spout'UlO the lower end of which enters a revoluble discharge section 1-1 thereof. An endless belt 12'extending to a pointof material, `sup] ily (net shown) V.is adapted to feedinaterial to. an inclined endless bucket conveyei. 13 mounted on shafts .14 and 15- ufliith entend transversely across the truck frame andthe upper portions of the u rights 8 respectively. Theup'per end oft ie bucket coiiveyeris positioned above the inlet opening of the spout so that the buckets `thereof ivill discharge the materialV into said spout,

'The upriglits 48 and the inclined beams 9 i in connection with a suitable frame serve to supporta Water tank 416 having a. discharge -pipe' 17 .leading from the-.bottom thereof.

The'discharge of 'water 4from this pipe -regulatedbymeans of a valve 18. To the lower end of this pipe a exible tubev 19 connected which leads' directly into the mix. ing receptacle hereinafter to be referred to.
